If all you want is a conviction for a "perfect" phone call, then it is simple in its presentation, which may not be the same as a conviction.

If, on the other hand, you want to show the "big" picture as it unfolded in all its non-glory in Georgia, then DA Willis' looking into a RICO-type allegation will "show it all". Just like Bragg has had experience in successfully prosecuting white collar financial crime cases, so has Willis has the same type of experience and results using Georgia's RICO law. I do not know how that provision tracks with the Federal RICO law, but, assuming it is not a one-to-one copy, that could explain AG Garland's reluctance to bring Federal charges against a former president his first day on the job as the top prosecutor, despite or because of his experience as an appellate judge.
